The Illustrated Man: Entry 9

Quote:
"Outside, a banging, crashing boom, a surge of brass, a drum, a cry, marching feet, pennants and songs. Through the stone streets the army, fire weapons to shoulder, stamped. Children skipped after. Old women waved dirty flags."

Pg. 139

Comment:
(E) This short story is about a particular person named Ettil in Mars. I like this part of the book because it sounds like patriotism, but it also sounds like an uprising. All of the elements in this quote/excerpts, contribute to my assumption.
